Following the success of the Detroit and Northern Michigan Almanacs, the West Michigan Almanac is an amazing information source for every resident, visitor, and student of western Michigan. The western side of Michigan, from New Buffalo to Muskegon, is among the fastest growing areas in the state. With its blend of German, Dutch, and Amish cultures, its year-round influx of Chicago-area visitors, and stunning coastline, there is still little information that describes the vitality of western Michigan beyond tourist brochures.
